The best dressed men at the 89th Academy Awards

Well, that was… eventful. Usually a sixteen-hour slog through corporate glad-handing, on-stage networking, and ego-massaging, the 89th Academy Awards was packed with incident and winners – GENUINE, WORTHY WINNERS – and could even spell a brand new dawn for this dead-on-its-arse franchise.

But more importantly, all the lads looked fucking great. Here were our top ten:

Ashton Sanders and Jharrel Jerome from Moonlight

You know what’s really, really, really nice? Two kids who look like they’re really excited for this very cool awards show. Jharrel wins big for his lounge lizard black bow-tie and ivory one-button and Ashton’s double-breasted jacket and Goodfellas collar is a classic combination.

Riz Ahmed

Not going to lie but the shine picked up off that blue satin peaked lapel is such that I kinda wanna… lick it? Is that bad? Riz loses stripes for a slightly skewed bow-tie but overall, this is a great look.

Michael Shannon

Accompanied by his partner Kate Arrington – a woman you can just tell will fully not put up with any of your shit – Michael went full Vito Corleone and, despite his slightly ill-fitting cuffs, we could hardly be happier.

Dev Patel

Everyone else might as well have gone home because truly, this was Dev’s moment.
